killamch89 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Long story short, about seven years ago while recovering from a near-death experience, I did a 7 day water-only fast. It was the first time I had done anything like this and my body was telling I need to. So I tried it and to my surprise after the 7 days, I was full of energy and to say my recovery sped up is an understatement. From that point on, I always fast on Sundays to re-invigorate my body. Now, before any tries this, please be warned that it is not for everyone so be careful and make sure to do your research before you try it. Also, don't try to go as extreme as I did, start off small with like 12 hours and gradually work your way up to a day. So have you ever tried fasting and if you did, what is the longest you have ever fasted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander. Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have never fasted and never plan on doing so. I love my food to much to do such as thing even if studies have shown it is good for your health. Generally speaking, I feel awful if I don't eat three meals a day and I tend to get irritable quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I don't like fasting. However, a good workout/water burns out a lot of impurities that make us feel miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You should try taking a powerful detoxifier like turpentine to help to get rid of the impurities as well as drink a LOT of water as this will flush out the toxins faster.

killamch89 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Just as a note - I've been doing 24 Dry fasts every week and it seems to be far more effective than normal water fasting. Honestly, I'm not going past 24 hours with this - I don't need to lose any weight at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I do fast as often as I can, some days I just wait till about 12 in the afternoon before I eat and in other days I just give myself a 3 days fast only taking fruits and water all through for the next three days.

Justin11 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I never intentionally fast, it occurs unexpectedly, maybe I was too busy that I forgot about food. I don't see myself going through n fasting for 12 hours let alone seven days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
